I purchased this corriedale fiber from the CT Sheep and Wool Festival. After spinning and plying, I ended up with almost 200 yards of fingering yarn, giving just enough to make my sister these fingerless mittens for her birthday.
I used size one needles for a really dense knitted fabric. These mittens were knit from the top down with a thumb gusset decrease. It was very interesting to work them up this way and it went very quickly. My sister loved her birthday present.
